 I golf Caddie II August 28, 2008
I just sent my iGolf Caddie II back in for exchange. Like many of the 1 star reviews, mine kept droping course data. When I contacted iGolf, they said they were aware of this problem, and since my units warranty had just expired, I could get the $30 subscription which extended the warranty to 1 year. I did this and have sent the unit back in. If you read the reviews, at the time I wrote this, the 5 star reviews are from 2006... all the 2 and 1 star review are from latter 2007 and 2008. When the iGolf doesn't drop the courses, it does work as advertised and is fun, as I'm sure any golf gps is. I just wish it was rechargable by simply plugging in.
 Buyer Beware! August 13, 2008
I've owned an iGolf GPS Caddie for over a year and have been using it flawlessly. Recently I turned on the unit and none of the courses that I had downloaded were available. So I connected the unit to my computer and reloaded the courses again. I played two rounds of golf and then the unit lost the courses again. I contacted customer support and they stated that my internal memory or battery was damaged. iGolf provides no service on their units. Because I was outside of the one year warranty, my only option was to buy another unit. BUYER BEWARE. This product is unsupported and unreliable.
 Works Just Fine, But... August 11, 2008
The iGolf II works as advertised, and it's a good deal less expensive than its competitors. That's both initial price and cost to operate, since once I choose my golf courses I download their data to my PC, and don't need to pay an on-going subscription fee in future years. The only minor negative is the battery indicator. I've been using 2000 maH rechargeable batteries (Duracell), set the indicator to monitor rechargeables, but after two outings the device turns itself off repeatedly, though it indicates 60% or so of the charge left. I'm now trying 2700 maH batteries (Sanyo).
I golf Caddie II August 4, 2008
Nice product and very easy to use but don't order if you have a PC running VISTA. You can't set up the required on line connection using VISTA. I Golf tried to help but couldn't. I had to use an older computer to connect and download courses.
iGolf GPS July 21, 2008
After researching various golf GPS units, reading golf forums, and looking at units in stores (I enjoy the hunt), I purchased iGolf's Caddie II.
It's user friendly, acquires several sats for accuracy, takes regular or rechargeable batteries, self-mapping is fast and easy, and the price is great.
The annual fee is $30, which allows you to download 100 courses onto your PC. So, even if you drop the membership after the first year...the courses are yours.
I've used it for several rounds now and am perfectly pleased. The only negative is that it does not automatically switch holes when you step to the next tee, but one click and it's done.
